A Strange Meeting.

From the Ne,U York EreninG Sun.
A portly, prosperous-looking gentleman sat
in a Sixth avenue -, elevated car
on Monday evening. The conductor
had just shouted Thirteenth street"

my name is Waddell, of Murray, Idaho"

She Thought George Too Previous.
From the Boston, Budget.


There is one prominent furniture establish
ment in this city, the clerks of which were
treated to an amusing incident the other day.
A couple that had evidently made up their minds
to sail forth on the marital ocean dropped in to
select furniture. The lady had evidently been
deuded into the idea that her prospective fell
low-voyager was possessed of some ready
means, therefore she was somewat taken aback
when he inquired as to how much money was
required to be paid down upon such a bill of
goods and how favorable their terms were in
regard to the payment of the remainder. With
out waiting for the salesman's compre-
hensive elucidaton of the firms liberal provis-
ion for such contingencies she turned upon her
would-be lesser half and, with voice that sent
a chill into the very marrow of his bones said:
Look here, George, do you mean to say that
you have not the money to pay for this furni-
ture outrght?" George reluctantly admitted
that his exchequer was not sufficiently plethoric
Then guess you had better wait awhile for
you will have no immediate need of the furni-
turc so far as am concerned" and she wat2ed
out of the store, leaving the crestfallen target
of her Indignation 10 his own sad thoughts and
the consolatory offices of the sympathetic sales
man.

The Explaining" Tendency.
From the Boston Herald, Qnd.)

Politicians who havesso much to explain as
does John Sherman, don't become Presidents.
Mr.. Blaine began with heavy capital of that
kind, and he added so much 20 it last year that
it was wise step in him TO leave the country
for period. This explaining necessity is the
worst symptom In a Presidential candidate.
Good men have suffered from it as well as bad
away from himself when he wrote his second
Texas letter in the midst of the campaign of
1874. Letter writer's almost always fall into I'M
necessary explanation-a fact of which Presi-
dent Cleveland, in our day, may well bear in
mind

In regard to the disgTaceful conduct of futile
and other Grand Army officers concerning the
Presidents acceptance Of the st. Louis invita-
ton, the voice Of the Independent press is very
significant of the popular feeling We invite
attention to these quotations. Some of them
are from straight Republican papers. They
show that the Grand Army of the Republic men
who have made this shameful exhibition, under
the active proddng and stimulus of q set of
batfied pension agents, have made woeful mis-
take, and one which is hurting the organization.

Says tho New. York Swa: "a fashionable
hotel at the North which ventures to re-

boarler would speedily lose every one of its
white patrons. How, then. can we justly

sponsible for such assaults, do not consider
the question of justice With them the
question is merely one Of politics, and very

The New York Times says that Gen.
futile, of Iowa, continues in an unhappy
state of mind. 'He was very angry over
the battle flag order, madden yet over its
revocation, disguised because the President
had been invited to st. Louis, and is now in
an unutterable temper because of the
friendly reunion of Confederate and Union
soldiers at Gettysburg" Gen. futile seems
to be afflicted with lunacy. In explain
ing the cause of his ire he says: Il
consider that the Southern people
hold just as bitter feelings toward
the North as they ever have. can repose
no confidence in the pretenses of the South
so long as it remains solid. All that is
needed down there to create another rebel
lion is an opportunity that will lead them
to believe success is certain. The old spirit
is there, and some time it will break out
again" Perhaps, if Gen. Tuttle's friends
will take up a collection and send him down
to get acquainted with the Southern people
his lunacy may be cured. Nobody in the
South will injure him.
